Only 5 Simple Ways To Grab Visitors Attention In Your WordPress Blog

Visitors are the life of our blog. No visitors means no blog, no growth. Every day we work for our blog, directly or indirectly it’s all focused towards our visitors. Hence, we should never ignore our visitors and we should always focus towards grabbing their attention.

From smaller blogs to extremely larger blogs, the average visiting time of a visitor is one of the crucial parameters to look. If you are using an analytics tool then you must always keep an eye on Average session duration and the bounce rate.

These parameters clearly tells, how long the visitors are staying in your blog. This directly affects how your visitors are finding your blog useful and how long they are interacting with your blog.

In fact, Google uses this as one of the ranking factors to identify the real interactiveness or usefulness of the content. In simple terms, the amount of time a visitor stays is directly proportional to your blog’s value.

Research says, generally visitors decide to stay or leave a web page“under few seconds” only.

We are left with very few seconds only and hence in that short duration of time, it is necessary to attract the visitors towards achieving our blogging goals.

I always write about blogging goals because that’s one of the important factot that decides the growth of a blog. If you are focused and clear on your goals then only you can work appropriately towards that goal.

Okay, let’s come back to the topic and see, how we can grab the visitors attention in order to achieve our blogging goals.

Show Floating or Sticky Sidebars.

The simplest method is to show a floating or sticky sidebar widget on your blog.

Personally, I am not good in making color choices especially when it comes to “color matching”.

Hence, I use a tool like ColorSchemer to find matching colors using HTML codes. You can try the tool.

First, enter the primary color as HTML code.

Click “Set Hex”, you can see all the matching colors.

You can adjust the color theme as lighten or darken to find more matching colors.

Offer Something Valuable for FREE Download.

Apart from look n feel and words, you can also attract visitors attention by offering something “free of cost”.

Generally, if you give away free stuff, your visitors will stop and watch it. They may take an action to understand more about it. Naturally, this attracts them and they will interact with your offerings.

At the same time, if you are offering a valuable stuff say, an eBook or a free WordPress Plugin (that I do) definitely, they will find it useful and they may take an action which can help you to drive them towards your goal. This also build the visitors trust and they gets attracted with you too much.

For example, you can offer a free WordPress plugin and later, promote the pro-version of it. If they like your free plugin, they will definitely like your pro-version also.

Conclusion on Grabing Visitors Attention.

Once a visitor landed in your blog, we got only a few seconds to attract.
